Dutch heat?

[miep]

Hi first post here, been digging for about a year or so, not much of a collection yet.

Been looking around for some nice local (dutch) records for a while now, coming up with common stuff like rogier van otterloo, chris hinze etc. but still looking for some more....

Remember there was a funky Dutch Rhythm Steel Band record, but forgot the title somewhere...

So anyone got tips on more stuff to check?

Hi there Miep - welcome to the VV board.

Just out of interest, can you tell me which Rogier van Ottewloo LPs turn up most commonly in Holland? Does his 'Grijpstra en De Gier' OST turn up much?

Many thanks!

'moods' and 'on the move' are pretty common, as are his collab albums with louis van dyke etc. 'Visions' is a little harder to find as is his 'let's go randstad' single. Have yet to see his 'grijpstra en de gier' album, so mi guess it's not that common.

Hade, what dates and where are you in Holland? I'mgoing to the Low lands too!

Someone has a couple of their albums on ebay at the minute with audio clips if you want to check out what they sound like. I never encounter much Dutch stuff. Apart from Pussycat of course. 'Do It' is still the bomb.

The one with 'down by the river' is brilliant. Well that track is anyway.

I love loads of dutch music. Things to look for :-

Free - The Funky
Swinging Soul Sensation -Through the eye (dutch mohawks )
Fred Van Zegveld - Hammond Organ Dynamite (hard to find).
Jack Van Poll - High Jackin'
Jack Van Poll - Jackpot (Me want! Haaaard to get)
The Dave Pike Set - Got the feeling (good luck with this one&#33

[spiralbeat.]

I don't have much but I would definately recommend Powerhouse by Casey & The Pressure Group on Philips 1972? However, everytime I've seen it, it goes for a bit of dough. Contains a tune called 'This is just the begining' which is a massive hammond psych funk horn laden cut. Essential.

There's also Ob-la-di Ob-la-da by The Rob Franken Organization who get touted with that Dutch Mohawks tag. It's also very expensive when it turns up... I have a reish/boot for trade if anyone wants it.

[sermad]

Ive got some casey & the pressure group 45's and I love them. I saw the lp once and I think it was 50 euro.

would that be worth crossing half the country ?(no expenses though )

Do you rate that Swinging Soul Machine LP then? I find it to be very cheesy in a bland pop cod-rock way - only track which does it for me is 'It's An Ill Wind...'
If this track was available on 45 the album would no longer exist in Castle Wolfe.

[Col Wolfe]

I've just played 'Through The Eye' to appease my memory of this album and my initial thoughts were right - not much on it apart for 'It's An Ill Wind...'
'Spooky's Day Off' is OK but that's available on 45.
This LP was the first AND ONLY record I bought off Recordgirl due to the embellished description.

Good Dutch stuff: agree with Casey & The Pressure Group.
I'm a massive fan of Dutch beat/psych too - especially Outsiders, Het, Q65

[wayne]

There's a great Dutch psych/freakbeat box set (CD only, 'Nederbeat 1963 - 1969&#39 which I've not got (yet) but seems a fair bet for names to look out for on the garage/psych/beat records tip...

I paid 10 euro for my swinging soul machine and was very happy. Its an ill wind that blows is the killer. Yep I have the 45 and spookys day off is ok. Not brilliant. I find all these records for naff all when Im at utrecht. They are pretty much euro bin common (the 45's are anyway).

[pokester]

I all depends what you after some of those are "kleinkunst" dutch spoken folk ... (wich is ok if you speak it) but the music is dispointing..

Many people like Q65 but it's mostly poor rock in my book.
(and yes there's break a version of get out of my life.. )
